Before Researchers Become Researches They Should Become

If A Farmer Does Abandon His Or Her "tame" Fields Completely To Nature, Mistakes And Destruction Are Inevitable.

As Far As My Planting Program Goes, I Simply Broadcast Rye And Barley Seed On Separate Fields In The Fall . . . While The Rice In Those Areas Is Still Standing. A Few Weeks After That I Harvest The Rice, And Then Spread Its Straw Back Over The Fields As Mulch.

My Ultimate Dream Is To Sow Seeds In The Desert. To Revegetate The Deserts Is To Sow Seed In People's Hearts.

One Thing Is All Things. To Resolve One Matter, One Must Resolve All Matters. Changing One Thing Changes All Things. Once I Made The Decision To Sow Rice In The Fall, I Found That I Could Also Stop Transplanting, And Plowing, And Applying Chemical Fertilizers, And Preparing Compost, And Spraying Pesticides.

The Real Path To Natural Farming Requires That A Person Know What Unaltered Nature Is, So That He Or She Can Instinctively Understand What Needs To Be Done - And What Must Not Be Done - To Work In Harmony With Its Processes.
